Myofunctional therapy to help children with disabilities (limited health)

Abstract

Treatment of children with somatic and mental disabilities is the task of a multidisciplinary team of doctors. The task of the dentist who is part of this team is to prevent and treat dental diseases in children with disabilities. This is not only diseases of hard tissues, it is also the prevention of the development of maxillofacial anomalies, the cause of which is myodynamic imbalance. The myofunctional approach to the treatment of dental diseases allows not only to normalize the position of the teeth and prevent the development of anomalies, but also to solve behavioral problems that will help such patients to adapt to society. The success of the treatment of such patients depends on the chosen path of interaction with the child.
